People who have a busy lifestyle need to be sure that they have someone to come clean the house, and they might have a hard time finding someone to do that. That is where Handy.com comes into it because their website has a lot of cleaners on the site who want to come in on the owner's schedule. People who have a hard time getting someone in to clean the house can ask for the right schedule and find the right person. They can read the resume of the person who is going to clean the house, and they schedule/pay on the site.

The site is there to help bring people together with a cleaner who can be of great assistance. There are just too many things for people to do in the day, and that is why they need to start using Handy.com to schedule. They can get in touch with someone who can come in for cleaning today, and they can talk this over with the people they have hired. The cleaners all have their own pages on the site, and anyone can check them out at any time.

Handy.com has created millions of dollars in services over the years, and that is because they have been very careful to help people when they are looking for better services. They will show the person who is searching for the right kind of cleaner someone who is in their price range, their area and it ready to work on their schedule. Handy just runs the site, and they leave it to everyone to figure out how they will interact.

The company started very small when they began helping people keep their homes clean, and now they do not have to think about it. The cleaner can get a special key for the house and show up when it is time, and they will clean the house before the family gets home. The family shows up to a clean house, and they can expect that to happen every week or every month.

Hiring a cleaner on Handy.com will be much easier for people than just sitting around and hoping for a cleaner to come along. The cleaner will have their own site that anyone can check out, and the payments/scheduling all happen on Handy where everyone is secure and protected. The busy family now has a clean house they did not clean themselves.

The Dia de los Muertos design by artist fit beautifully on a high-quality Bluetooth Boom 2 speaker by Ultimate Ears.

Paired with the UE Boom app the speaker becomes a go to for clear portable sound.

Although this speaker was given to me for free, the $199 price tag for the limited edition Boom 2 seems reasonable, and with the ability to pair multiple speakers to the same device is reason enough to purchase more than one.

One speaker is loud enough to fill a good sized room in a house without distortion, but even at lower audio levels the sound stays clear and audible.

With the app having an equalizer the audio can be adjusted to however the listener likes.

Pairing an iPhone to the speaker was one of the easiest processes — open the app, turn on the speaker, tap on the speaker's name and accept pairing, users can even name speakers to better organize them.

The battery life is phenomenal. Used sporadically throughout the day the battery lasted the entire day. It was maybe about 7 hours of use and it went down to about 30 percent.

The speaker in itself is beautiful with the colorful Dia de los Muertos design. The material is high quality and a great addition to a living room or bedroom.

The app adds function to the speaker.

The features the app offers merit mention of the app on its own.

UE Boom app offers complete control of the speaker (which includes on and off button), alarm clock features, multiple speaker control, control multiple phone pairing to each speaker and equalized for sound preference.

Upon turning the speaker on a nice drum beat alerts to connection and when turning off a different drum beat alerts to disconnecting .

The alarm can be set with a custom playlist right on the app (which uses the music in the music app) or uses the previous song played and can be a higher audio level than regular listening level.

If a user is away from their device, but close to the speaker, several taps and interactions with the speaker control offering functions — the press of a button to turn off and on, taps on the speaker to pause, play, skip or repeat.

The speaker is versatile and beautiful. The design of the limited edition version is fantastic.

In this hilarious and heartfelt comedy from the writing duo behind The Hangover, Amy (Mila Kunis) has a seemingly perfect life – a great marriage, over-achieving kids, beautiful home and a career. However, she's over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she's about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms (Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn) on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities – going on a wild, un-mom-like binge of long overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence – putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate) and her clique of devoted perfect moms (Jada Pinkett Smith and Annie Mumolo). See the movie that critics are cheering as “…a funny, giddy, sentimental laugh-in…” - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.

CMA’s youngest artist member, 13-year-old Tegan Marie debuted her cover of Faith Hill’s blockbuster hit “This Kiss,” as part of the CMA Forever Country Cover Series exclusively on Taste of Country on Oct. 27.

The #1 single won the CMA Award for Song of the Year (1999) and earned two GRAMMY Award nominations.

“I was SO excited to become a CMA member and represent with my CMA hat at school just about every day,” Marie said. “To be able to sing a song by Faith Hill, who is such a legend, and have it be a part of CMA’s cover series is such an honor.”

Adding to the excitement, the young singer/songwriter can be seen at the inaugural CountryFlo Music Festival in Lake Wales, FL on Nov. 4 and will perform on the “America Salutes You” concert to benefit military, veterans and their families at the Rosemont Theater in Chicago on Nov. 12.

A native of Flint, MI, the burgeoning young superstar released her catchy single, “Lucky Me,” last spring with 100% of the proceeds going to children directly affected by the water crisis in her hometown.

She stunned listeners this summer when she released her breathtaking rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s #1 smash hit “H.O.L.Y.,” which garnered 17 million plus views on Facebook and led to high-profile media looks including her national TV debut on ABC’s Good Morning America and US Weekly's “Buzzzz-o-Meter” feature.

She also caught the attention of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team who invited her to perform the national anthem at their last home game prior to the Olympics.

After debuting on the Radio Disney Country stage at the CMA Music Fest in June, she opened select dates for country stars Hunter Hayes and Cassadee Pope.

Neil Young's fiery emotionality, down home ethos, and heartfelt songwriting is as vibrant now as it was six-decades ago. Young turns 71 on Nov. 12, and he's still hitting high watermarks, having recently performed at Desert Trip, alongside The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, and The Who.

"Long May You Run" is a tribute to Young's artistic legacy, and it has the special distinction of being the first ever exhibit to appear in all three galleries.

It will show at Morrison Hotel Gallery at the Sunset Marquis Hotel from Nov. 10 thru Nov. 16; Morrison Hotel Gallery in SoHo on Dec. 1; and, finally, at Morrison Hotel Gallery in Maui located within Mick Fleetwood's General Store Jan. 12, 2017.

The photographers represented by Morrison Hotel Gallery have been with Young, onstage, backstage, and offstage for it all.

"Long May You Run" will showcase the work of photographers Joel Bernstein, Danny Clinch, Henry Diltz, and Julie Gardner. Diltz and Bernstein's images document the first few decades of Young's formative years with Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and as a solo artist.

Danny Clinch's images snapshot the glory days of 1990s until now, and Julie Gardner is the new face in the show-her work captures the freshness of the artist as he continues to stretch and grow six decades in his incredible career.

The thread running through Young's six-decade career is organic, straight-from-the-gut-and-the-heart artistic expression. Even in the1980s, when his contemporaries suited up for MTV and contemporized their approach,

Young maintained his earthy roots. As the glitzy 1980s gave away to the grungy 1990s, Young became lauded as an icon for the emerging alt-rock and grunge scene with Seattle bands such as Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Alice In Chains siphoning from his raw and purposeful music and his flannel and ripped jeans attire.

"Long May You Run" salutes the amazing breadth of the two-time Rock N' Roll Hall Of Famer and Grammy Award winner's career, from his start in Buffalo Springfield until the present.

Along the way, Neil Young has worked with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Pearl Jam, Booker T. Jones, Crazy Horse and The Stray Gators, among many other collaborators.

He's a fearless artist who has followed his heart through a labyrinthine artistic continuum.

Joel Bernstein is an acclaimed photographer whose work, spanning more than three decades, chronicles the inner lives and public moments of some of the most important singer-songwriters, performers and musicians of our time.

Bernstein's many album covers are commonly listed among the most influential in rock's visual history.

Danny Clinch has established himself as one of the premier photographers of the popular music scene.

He has photographed a wide range of artists, from Johnny Cash to Tupac Shakur, from Bjork to Bruce Springsteen.

His work has appeared in publications such as Vanity Fair, Spin, Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine, among others. Clinch has presented work in numerous galleries and published three books.

For over 40 years, photographer and Modern Folk Quartet founder Henry Diltz's work has graced hundreds of album covers and has been featured in books, magazines and newspapers.

His unique artistic style has produced powerful photographic essays of Woodstock, The Monterey Pop Festival, the Doors, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix and scores of other legendary artists.

Diltz continues his distinguished career, generating new and vibrant photographs that inspire the rock n' roll fan in each of us.

Henry Diltz is a partner in, and is exclusively published and represented by Morrison Hotel Gallery.

Julie Gardner is a multi-talented artist, live music film producer, studio engineer, photographer, and designer.

About Morrison Hotel® GalleryMorrison Hotel® Gallery was founded in 2001 by former record company executive Peter Blachley, music retail industry professional Richard Horowitz, and legendary music photographer Henry Diltz.

Two wise-talking mosquitoes are joining the fight against the devastating Zika virus with the help of Peabody Award-winning animator and director Firdaus Kharas, who has leveraged the power of animation and humor to help stop the spread of Malaria, Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Polio, Diabetes and other diseases around the world.

The animated campaign will launch first in Cape Verde, the island nation off the West Coast of Africa, which has confirmed nearly 7,500 Zika cases in a population of 500,000 people.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) will screen episodes as part of a prevention program that includes both door-to-door home visits and awareness sessions inside schools.

The short films will help families reduce the risk of transmission by identifying and eliminating mosquito breeding sites and using repellents and door and window nets to prevent bites.

The series also dispels myths that Zika can be spread through food, weather, or spirits in a humorous way.

Kharas adapted the Zika cartoons from his award-winning Buzz and Bite series, which debuted in 2008 and has been used to prevent the spread of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.

The series launches in Portuguese, the official language of Cape Verde, and in English. The two female characters are voiced by local women from Cape Verde.

“With Zika and other communicable diseases that spread rapidly, the goal is to get out messages that spur behavior change as quickly as possible in order to save lives,” Kharas said. “We have found that animation and humor is one of the most powerful and effective tools as it inspires people to accept and adopt change rather than being coerced, scared, or threatened into it.”

Roberta Rezende, who is coordinating CRS's prevention campaign in Cape Verde, added that the series will be especially impactful on school children, who can play an important role in educating their parents, especially in isolated regions and areas of poverty.

Kharas added that the series can be easily adopted by other countries fighting Zika.

Since it is animation, the episodes can be quickly and affordably translated into multiple languages, including French and Spanish. Kharas’ past animated films have been translated into over 170 languages and viewed in over 150 countries, reaching an estimated 5.75 billion people in their own language.

His Vimeo channel contains nearly 3,500 animated shorts. All the videos can be downloaded in multiple formats ranging from high resolution to mobile phones.

About Chocolate Moose MediaChocolate Moose Media is the world’s leading producer of animated behaviour-change communications aimed at solving health and social issues around the world. It produces film and animated television with offices in Geneva, Switzerland, and Ottawa, Canada. President Firdaus Kharas uses proceeds from for-profit projects to fund not-for-profit campaigns targeting health and other social issues. These are in the form of animated public service announcements and include Peabody-award winner The Three Amigos (combatting HIV/AIDS); Buzz and Bite (preventing the spread of malaria); No Excuses (targeting sexual and domestic violence); Solar Campaign (replacing kerosene lamps with solar lights); and a three-video series aimed at preventing the spread of Ebola, among many others. Nearly 3,500 of his animated videos can be viewed and downloaded free of charge from his Vimeo channel, vimeo.com/firdauskharas.

“I wanted to create an interesting metaphor, using role reversal, about how humans treat animals (i.e. turkeys for Thanksgiving), waste trees (at Christmas), and pumpkins (on Halloween) in a voraciously consumptive and unconscious way for the sake of ceremonial tradition,” the director Patricia Chica said.

She is also an avid social media guru with over 10K+ real followers on her various online platforms.

Her upcoming film Morning After (2017) delves into the subject of sexual fluidity.

Patricia Chica's main purpose as a director is to use the language of cinema to open conversations about material often silenced as taboo or controversial.

Through her speaking and filmmaking, Patricia has helped bring awareness and discourse to social issues like HIV-AIDS, Blood Donation, Depression, Suicide Prevention and Homelessness, as well as LGBTQ, Aboriginal and Human Rights.

Another Day in Paradise is the story of 16-year-old twins, Brooke and Alexis, who look forward to a summer of fun while working and hanging out with their fellow life guards at Paradise Water Park.

It’s been a tough year since their mom died and while their youthful resilience finds them ready to move forward they are worried about their dad, Jeremy (Jeffery Patterson), who has yet to come to terms with all the changes in his life running the family owned Water Park and raising his daughters alone.

Teens being teens, Brooke and Alexis manage to test Jeremy's patience to the breaking point, and have all three of them questioning the right path for their future. For this family it’s no longer just another day in paradise.

Another Day in Paradise had some stiff competition, going up against another one Once Upon A Dream Productions films, Hot Bath, Stiff Drink, an’ a Close Shave (HBSDCS).

A true family-style Western set in 1893 directed by Matthew Gratzner (Award winning Visual Effects Supervisor and BAFTA nominee for the Academy Award nominated films Hugo and Aviator, as well as Interstellar, Iron Man, Resident Evil: Extinction, Shutter Island, Real Steel, A Good Day to Die Hard, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Hancock, Aeon Flux, War of the Worlds, National Treasure and Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol among many others.)

The Cambridge gang, led by Dallas Cambridge (Robert Patrick - Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Scorpion) is ordered to surrender with the promise of a fair trial.

The only member of the gang who gives up is Hobie, Dallas's young son.

Everyone else seems to die in a fiery blaze of bullets and fire.

Young Hobie is tried and sentenced to hang for his fathers crimes.

Shockingly, Dallas Cambridge survives the blaze and is out for revenge.

Can Lucky (Vance's twin) and his gang help Vance to protect his family from a killer bent on vengeance?

Fox Television announced that it has made a put pilot commitment for The Untitled Dwayne Johnson/Brian Gewirtz/Andrew Gurland Wrestling Project, a comedy series inspired by the real life experiences of Dwayne Johnson and former WWE head writer, Brian Gewirtz.

The half-hour single camera comedy offers a behind-the-scenes look at a fictional professional wrestling outfit and chronicles the one-of-a-kind odd couple relationship that develops between a charismatic young Rock-like character and a painfully awkward comedy writer new to the world of wrestling.

A fish out of water among all of these alpha males, this very beta former sitcom writer needs as much help as he can get navigating the extremely passionate, sometimes crazy and always unpredictable world of professional wrestling.

"This November will mark the 20th anniversary of my professional wrestling debut. I was 24 years old, putting in the hard work, making $40 bucks per match and had no clue of the long journey that lay ahead of me with characters and backstage stories so colorful you'd think there's no way that can be true," Johnson said. "The entertaining show that goes on in front of the crowd pales in comparison to the insanely entertaining show that goes on backstage. Brian and myself can't wait to tell our stories."

"Coming from Hollywood to the wrestling industry, with its intense backstage atmosphere and larger than life personalities, was a major culture shock," Gewirtz said. "After working in the business for over 15 years, Dwayne and I had encounters and experiences that were unbelievable as well as unforgettable. We can't wait to bring this project to the fans."

"This has been a long time passion project and we're thrilled to be jumping into the network comedic space on a topic we love and know so well," Garcia said. "Fox, Gary Sanchez Productions and Andrew Gurland are the perfect partners to help us bring this story to life."

"Ferrell and I met in the wrestling ring so doing this show with Dwayne Johnson brings us full circle," McKay said. "And there's no one more talented (or limber) than Andrew Gurland to steer this project."

"I've always gravitated towards comedy that comes from a real place, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to work with Dwayne and Brian," Gurland said. "Their stories about the real drama behind pro-wrestling's larger than life spectacle are hilarious and surprisingly poignant. I hope I do them justice."

The project is a co-production of Seven Bucks Productions and Gary Sanchez Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television.

Seven Bucks Productions has an ever-expanding slate including tent-pole movies such as Paramount's ‪Baywatch, New Line's Shazam, Universal's The Janson Directive and Dreamworks' Alpha Squad Seven. The company also produces original television programming including HBO's "Ballers," Spike TV's "Rock the Troops" and HBO Documentary Films "Rock and a Hard Place."

With 30 years of murder mystery dinners Keith O'Leary and Margo Morrison continue a tradition of Murder Mystery dinners with performances across the nation.

A dinner Murder Mystery hosted at several Maggiano's Little Italy locations every weekend, performances nationwide and private events, there's more to this performance than meets the eye.

O'Leary said the performance changes every month and many people go back time and time again to have a brand new experience every visit.

The murder mystery genre has had a long history, starting as a party game and growing due to popularity. In 1935 the first murder mystery game was released.

The most well known murder mystery game "Clue" was released in 1948 and became the first murder mystery board game.

In the early 1980s role-playing versions of the murder mystery game popped up.

O'Leary and Morrison started in 1985 and has been co-hosted Mary Higgins Clark, Peter Falk, and Dr. Henry Lee.

"We started the company back in 1985, thats over 30 years ago, in Los Angeles," O'Leary said. "We started doing weekends at hotels and then it moved into public dinners."

The quality of the show grew and continues to evolve and bring more and more attendees from around the world to the Murder Mystery Dinners.

"We have basically been responsible for spreading it across the country," O'Leary said.

The attendees sign-up and upon arrival to the dinner get a welcome letter with questions to ask each other. The only thing the attendees know to start is that there are actors mixed in the group, but are unaware of who the actors are.

The dinner is typically three hours long and starts with a cocktail reception where a murder takes place and then the clues start coming.

Three murders take place in total. At the end of the dinner the guest get to write down their guess as to who did it before the detective solves the murder logically.

An award ceremony is had with the best guest theories are given prizes.

With offices on both the East and West Coast they still travel extensively, producing weekends, dinners, private parties, a unique CSI team-building experience, as well as corporate events for virtually the entire Fortune 500.

Those equal opportunity offenders who put the “mock” in democracy are back with a new show guaranteed to deliver pre-election laughs.

The CAPITOL STEPS…who claim to be “the only group in America funnier than Congress”…have put audiences on notice: Come to Playhouse Square’s Connor Palace Theatre ready for bi-partisan belly laughs, guffaws and snickers, Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Thank to our politicians, there’s never a shortage of material for the Steps, who said, “Typically the Republicans goof up and the Democrats party, or the Democrats goof up and the Republicans party. That’s what we call the two party system.”

It’s all fodder for their performances which (for those who’ve never been entertained by the Steps) is a cross between “Saturday Night Live” and Second City’s topical humor. In addition to U.S. politicians, everyone is fair game for their musical satire, whether it’s O.J. Simpson, Osama Bin Laden, Paris Hilton or Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

And, of course, there have never been two such presidential candidates as this year for material to feed The Steps comedic satire!

This never-ending wealth of humor has enabled the Steps to churn out yearly topical comedy albums, with titles like When Bush Comes to Shove; Between Iraq and a Hard Place and One Bush, Two Bush, Old Bush, New Bush. Their current album is Campaign and Suffering.

On their website at capsteps.com, fans can download a new satirical song each week such as “Sound of Moose-Sick” (sung to “The Sound of Music”) or “Obama Mia!” (sung to “Mama Mia!”).

Composed of current and former Congressional staffers, The Capitol Steps began in 1981 at the office Christmas party of former Senator Charles Percy.

And…like most things in Congress…they never knew when to stop. (The group notes that most of the members of Congress for whom the Capitol Steps have worked have either been defeated or placed under investigation.)

The Steps’ bi-partisan satire soon spilled over to: live performances, their own specials for Public Television, as well as appearances on all three networks, regular exposure on National Public Radio and an on-going weekend gig as resident comedy artists at Chelsea’s in Washington, DC’s Georgetown district.

The view from the Capitol Steps pokes fun at issues and public figures, with past administration jibes including a skit about a certain President who “played the saxophone without inhaling;” a Steps’ cum Mrs. Dan Quayle singing “I Want A Man With A Slow Mind” and other song parodies like “We Arm The World” (to “We Are The World”),“Heard It On The Nightline,” “Hang Down Your Head, Tom Daschle,” “You Can’t Fly With Giant Thighs,” “Pirates of Ted’s Pants”…you get the picture.

Many celebs and politicians (some of whom have been targets themselves) have performed with the Steps, such as Sam Donaldson, Vice President Gore, Pat Robertson and former President Bush. In fact, his experiences with the troupe prompted this comment from the senior Bush: “The Capitol Steps make it easier to leave office!”

Showtime Networks and MADONNA have announced that her highly-anticipated concert film, "MADONNA: REBEL HEART TOUR" will premiere on Dec. 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME, on-air, on demand and over the internet.

"MADONNA: REBEL HEART TOUR" was shot around the world and features a collection of live and behind these scenes footage culminating in performances at the Sydney Olympic Park in March of this year.

The film is co-directed by Danny B. Tull and Nathan Rissman, both of whom have worked extensively with Madonna on her feature films and tour movies.

Madonna will be honored later this year as Billboard magazine's 2016 Woman of the Year award, at a star-studded event held in conjunction with the publication of Billboard's Women in Music list, which identifies the 50 most powerful female executives in the industry each year.

"When it comes to putting on a show, there is only one Madonna - an iconic performer that we're thrilled to have on our air," David Nevins, President and CEO, Showtime Networks Inc, said. "With her unique creative vision and unmatched stage presence, our viewers will see an arena show packed with visual theatrics, stunning costumes and intricate choreography, featuring new hits and beloved classic songs."

As the premier destination for the best concert films and music documentaries, "MADONNA: REBEL HEART TOUR" joins a growing list of Showtime Documentary Films featuring music's biggest names including recent concert films from The Who, The Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, One Direction, Mumford & Sons, U2, The White Stripes and Paul McCartney, along with the documentary films featuring Michael Jackson, David Bowie, The Eagles, Nas, The Police, Elvis Costello, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, Kings of Leon and Billy Joel. For more information on the SHOWTIME Music Makers collection, go to SHO.com/documentaries.

The set list for "MADONNA: REBEL HEART TOUR" spans all decades of the iconic superstar's illustrious career, including songs from Rebel Heart (the No. 1 dance hits "Living for Love" and "Bitch I'm Madonna") to classic fan favorites like "Material Girl" and "Holiday" and a "Dress You Up" medley that included "Get Into The Groove," "Everybody" and "Lucky Star." Memorable highlights from the tour include her first-ever live concert performance of "Take a Bow," acoustic versions of "Like A Prayer," "Secret" and "Don't Tell Me." At each tour date during the song "Unapologetic Bitch," Madonna would bring someone up from the crowd to dance with her during the song. Some nights it was a fan, another night it was Katy Perry. Other guest dancers included: Amy Schumer, Ariana Grande, Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Diplo, Gwendoline Christie, Graham Norton and Anderson Cooper.

Produced by Live Nation Global Touring, the Rebel Heart Tour kicked off on September 9, 2015 in Montreal and visited arenas in 55 cities on four continents over seven months. Madonna performed 82 shows, plus a special fan club show in Melbourne.

The tour grossed $169.8 Million with 1,045,479 in attendance, making her the top grossing touring female artist in the history of Billboard Boxscore with over $1.31 billion in ticket sales sold over the course of her career. Madonna is also the fourth top grossing touring act (behind The Rolling Stones, U2 and Bruce Springsteen) since tracking began in 1990.

Madonna also recently announced special evening of music, art, mischief and a live performance on Dec. 2 to benefit Raising Malawi, the non-profit she founded in 2006. Raising Malawi is currently constructing Malawi's first pediatric surgery and intensive care unit which will double the number of life-saving surgeries performed on children each year, provide intensive care after critical surgeries and train specialized Malawian medical staff.

The facility, which will be called the Mercy James Institute of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care, will open in 2017.
